Hi

[Guest guest]

After the last blood test with the extreme elevation of enzymes I was

sent for a CT scan but nothing was found. A few weeks before the

blood test I had a recurrance of the back pain, but only for a few

hours. During the course of this problem over the past four years

none of the pain had been extreme or required hospital or doctor

visits. I'm a bit confused now as to what may be my problem with the

enzymes.

Hi --

I had my gallbladder out three years ago, and have been having problems from

stones in the liver ever since. But it hasn't been until NOW that I've known

that, because CT scans, untrasounds and blood tests don't always pick up the

problem. I actually thought I was going crazy and making it all up in my

head or something. The last attack I had was a week and a half ago and it

landed me in the hospital for 3 days. The good thing, I suppose, is that

this time THEY ACTUALLY FOUND SOMETHING. Stones in my liver. They got one

out by ercp while I was there, and I am scheduled to go in a week and a half

to get the others out (by ercp as well). The doctor and nurses told me there

was nothing I could do to prevent this from happening again. I am 31, thin,

and I work out and eat 'pretty well' (I could probably come up a few notches

here, but I steer clear away from grease and places like McD's et al). It

blew me away to think that I would be sentenced to a life of this crap, so I

hopped on the net and found that I was not alone! Joy!

So here I am, with the " gallstones " group, finding much support and

encouragement.

Welcome to the group!
